WAUKESHA, Wisc. – The Wisconsin Bear Hunters’ Association (WBHA) announces its endorsement of Tim Michels for Governor of Wisconsin.
Tim Michels is a lifelong hunter and gun owner who has always supported the traditions and shared the values of hunters throughout Wisconsin. He supports the responsible management of Wisconsin’s wolf population, hunters’ access to public lands, and streamlining of Wisconsin’s hunting regulations which are currently 32 pages and supported by a whopping 174 pages of administrative rules.
“Hunting is more than an activity, it’s part of Wisconsin’s rich cultural heritage,” said Michels. “Government must recognize and protect our right to hunt, and as an avid deer hunter who has spent more than three decades pursuing Whitetail in the woods of Central Wisconsin, I will support efforts to expand opportunities to engage in all forms of Hunting.”
The Wisconsin Bear Hunters’ Association’s nearly 3,000 members will continue to advance strong policies that safeguard hunting rights in our state, including:
- Proper wolf management, specifically delisting of wolves from the Federal Endangered Species list.
- Expansion of hunting opportunities for all forms of hunting.
- Continued defense of hunting and baiting on all public lands.
The Wisconsin Bear Hunters’ Association is confident that Tim Michels, as Governor, will hear our concerns, fight for our freedoms, make educated decisions for Wisconsin’s great outdoor sporting heritage, and protect the rights of sportsmen and sportswomen across the state.
